Serenity wants to stay at home - help fund six months of care

Serenity cannot afford the care She needs after a heart attack; we are asking for $1,450.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 95. After a heart attack Serenity can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Serenity desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Serenity worked all of her life as a carpenter, and raised 3 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $1,450 goes: • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $500 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $420 • Medication and prescriptions: $530 Glad we found this place. - Travis

Updates from Travis

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($477 in total) I made the first payment toward hospital bed and mattress rental. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. 49% there. the plan for mobility aids and bathroom adaptations is now scheduled. Thank you.

  3. Update from Sacramento: we've started the first stage. We're at 80% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
